Bridge players in the Frankfurt area

Just wondering if there's anyone out there in FFM Toytown Land who might be interested in a few rubbers now and again.

Have green baize cloth (for covering pub tables); have two packs of cards; have scorepads, pencils and erasers. Will travel (within the area)

Too far away for you but we used to host a weekly bridge evening for many years. It was the DESY Bridge Group and at one stage grew to 18 attendees (4 tables & 1 pair sat out). In the beginning we wandered from flat to flat but when we got a house & small kids & numbers grew our place was the only location where we could fit in.

We were a real international bunch (given the visitors to DESY) with people from : UK, Germany, Switzerland, US, Canada, Czech Republic, Poland (excellent players), Netherlands (guy was a bridge referee at national level), Israel, Russia, China ... It was really impressive 10 years or so ago to have at one table two Chinese playing against a US/Russian pair.

Sadly the group faded away a few years ago when the Hera accelerator closed down & the research groups moved away. We miss those evenings!

Hi @HEM

Sounds like it was great fun - wish I'd been there.

Always had a secret love of particle accelerators too: Big Science is fab.

Hi Kuzzer, i´d be interested! Id need a short briefing though, am a bit rusty on the old bridge rules. generally play whist or a bit of skat now and again - I think they´re similar games though, kinda! So let me know if you´re also lookin for "non-experts"...

OK - so a teensy bit disappointing, this one

One player in Hamburg, and one person who doesn't play yet - but's keen to learn (nod to Supermacs).

Are we sure there's no other Frankfurt-based Bridge players out there in TT land?
